Interesting fact
The ¼ Macuta (Equipaga) coin from Angola, minted in 1789 during the reign of Maria I, was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at that time. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it features a unique blend of African and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of Maria I, while the reverse side features an image of a macuta, which is a traditional African hut. This blending of cultures reflects the complex history of Angola, which was a Portuguese colony at the time.
